Beautiful Beat

I didn't have work today because it's the end of the trimester for the highschoolers so I had a day off. I was planning on getting up early and working out and then coming up to campus and studying my guts out. That was the plan anyway. I ended up waking up around 11:30 a.m. I had missed a call from the geek squad at best buy saying my camera was ready to pick up. I went there and waited in line for like half an hour just so I could sign a paper and take me camera. whatever. Then I drove up to campus not quite as gung ho (Is that how you even spell that?) to do homework as I had planned on being. But as I parked my car and started walking up to campus I was listening to Nada Surf on my ipod. The song Beautiful Beat was playing and for some reason i just thought, "dang, life is good!" Seriously though, maybe it was the weather or the song or just everything shmooshed together but it just hit me that I have things SO good. For the past little while I've found a lot of things to get upset or down about and that's just lame. There are so many things to be happy about. I think that just loving life for what it is is so important and something I need to remind myself of constantly.

hear hear! life is wonderful. especially nights when you get to sip on a nice cup of hot chocolate and have good (never awkward) conversation with good people. p.s. I still can't taste anything. I think my tongue may have fallen off in your car. sorry.

Jo, I just love ya :) I need to enjoy life more. I miss walking on campus! Seriously you need to take time to enjoy college days! The harsh reality of the everyday professional environment is not near as fun as studying on campus until 1 am!
